About Katy Perry
Since signing with Capitol Records over a decade ago, Katy Perry has racked up an impressive 50 billion streams, alongside worldwide sales of 47.5 million albums and 135 million tracks. The American singer-songwriter is best known for her influence on modern pop and her camp style, cited as the “Queen of Camp” by Vogue and Rolling Stone. Recognisable singles include ‘Roar’, ‘Firework’, ‘Part of Me’, and ‘Dark Horse’, surpassing 10 million combined sales and streams.
Perry rose to fame with her 2008 pop-rock album ‘One of the Boys’ spawning her debut singles ‘I Kissed a Girl’ and ‘Hot n Cold’, which reached number one and three on the US Billboard Hot 100. The disco-influenced album ‘Teenage Dream’ produced five more US number-one singles ‘California Gurls’, ‘Teenage Dream’, ‘Firework’, ‘E.T’, and ‘Last Friday Night’ - the only album by a female singer to do so.
The empowerment-themed ‘Prism’, electropop meets feminism ‘Witness’, and motherhood-inspired ‘Smile’ followed in the years between 2013 – 2020. Perry’s Las Vegas concert residency Play (2021 – 2023) received critical acclaim and commercial success.
The 13x Grammy-nominated singer is one of only five artists to have topped 100 million certified units with their digital singles. She is also the first female artist to have four music videos, surpassing a billion views each.
